WREG announced Tuesday that Ephie Johnson is the 2024 Remarkable Woman of the Mid-South winner.
Johnson, the woman behind Neighborhood Christian Center, will receive $1,000 for the charity of her choice and will be flown to Hollywood, California for a nationwide Remarkable Woman event.
“It’s remarkable how things have occurred and I’ve been the vessel that God has used to do it and, so I can say I am honored that I can say remarkable things have been done through me, and that I can receive that as an honor because of who did it through me,” Johnson said.
The other three finalists in the competition were Jijuana Jamerson Coleman, Traci Ford and Shirley McCray.
WREG received more than 300 nominations for this year’s honor.
Throughout the month of March, Nexstar’s television stations across the country spotlighted local women who inspire, lead, and forge the way for other women. Based on criteria including community contributions, self-achievement, and exhibiting innovation, creativity, and/or entrepreneurial spirit -Nexstar television stations across 117 markets each selected four local women for consideration as that market’s “Remarkable Woman.” As the local market winner, Johnson will receive $1000 to be donated to the charity of her choice and will travel to Los Angeles with “nominees” from other Nexstar television markets, where one woman will be recognized as Nexstar’s “Remarkable Woman” of 2024. The winner will receive $10,000 to be donated to the charity of her choice.
